We at homify love the current vogue for Scandinavian interiors as much as the next person, but sometimes our eyes crave more than another tour around a cosy yet minimal Swedish home. Every now and then, we want to see colour. We want to see character. We want to see, dare we say it, a little bit of crazy.

This family home delivers all that and more. Part greenhouse, part artist's retreat, the designers used retro windows to build walls, and bold, juicy colours to mix a medley of styles into one coherent theme. Come and take a look. You'll fall in love, we promise…

Through the labyrinthine wrought iron doors, it's clear we're in for a surprise…

The rich purple walls are slightly scuffed, adding character, and a large black dog guards the entry.

Who could have guessed how light and bright this home would be?

Multi-layered and a mish-mash of styles, the open plan home is fluid and free from barriers. At the centre is a large metal fire pit, perfect for keeping this spacious living area warm on winter nights.

Pop art shapes and quirky details mingle with old-fashioned furniture…

… we love the contrast of the old hanging chandelier and the raspberry pink kitchen peeking through.

The architects cut into the wall, letting light into the kitchen via an egg-shaped archway.

This is no door, though – a tiny breakfast bar blocks the way, letting the oval peekaboo frame the rest of the home.

The white base colour that permeates the home is broken up by jolts of pink and purple.

This design technique adds a contemporary boho feel to this already quirky home, and is very easy to replicate. Choose rich, dark jewel tones for an expensive luxury feel.

What's that tucked away under the stairs?

It's a tiny bathroom, painted burnt orange and accessorised with a multi-coloured rag rug. How cute! The sliding door is a clever touch, too.

That living area is truly sublime. Nestled away under the mezzanine level, it's cosy yet bright.

We never knew an orange sofa could look so good…

The creative corner of the home prioritises music over everything. Who could fail to be inspired?

Those old-fashioned windows get a perfect 10 on the style scoreboard!

Stained glass isn't just for churches…

Used sparingly, it can rejuvenate your home, making it look modern and on-trend. Even a small piece of stained glass artwork makes a remarkable impact.

The colours start to get a little more muted as we head upstairs, but pops of purple and yellow still appear in this narrow industrial style bathroom…

The bedroom takes the industrial theme and runs with it…

… exposed brick walls, painted white, set the tone for the space, while those delicate old-fashioned windows make the room feel airy and whimsical, like a greenhouse.

Those pops of colour are carried on in this cosy boudoir, too. We love that flashy shade of hot pink.

Check out those vintage pictures on the wall – they create a bold contrast between old and new.

The windows really do define this house – some rooms feel like they're made more of glass than bricks and mortar.

This bedroom has a little secret… easy access to a staircase that takes the occupant straight down to the secluded courtyard below.

Although if sunshine is what they're after, they can recline on the balcony and look down on the people below.

Our final view of this eclectic home is of the shabby chic courtyard. Melding all of the home's elements into one, it offers a place to soak up the sun in total privacy. Bliss.
